I really look forward to marriage when I am older. I am only 20 at the moment. However I am so paranoid about becoming pregnant. I feel this way because I think that my husband probably would not be attracted to me with the excess weight, and afterwards I would not have my figure. I guess I am a bit immature, but I just would want him to dislike me because I am getting larger. This is going to be a huge problem for me in the future and I am trying to overcome it, but it's difficult to find a man who doesn't want kids. Are my fears irrational?

You always see the question " Can Men and Women really be friends?" and most of the time it's asked by women. My question is- who cares? I mean really, as a man who's not here to ruffle feathers or stir the pot or anything- Just being honest-- women dont make that great of friends for a man anyway. I'm talking about real friends- not casual friends but serious complimentary complete friends.

Real shyt, what subject is there out there where I'd rather have a woman's cooperation(a woman whom I'm not F^ing mind you) than a man? Business/Finance? (No) Entertainment? (No) Sports? (No) Politics? (No) Women? (No) Name one. Hey. Hey! I love having women as a casual " Hey how ya doin!" type friend. Having women as " Hey get your girls together, lets go to the club" type friend. But really if you take away the sexual tension, in all honesty a woman makes like 54% as good a friend as another man. You agree or what?

Well, today I had a writing test, and the planning sheet was a bright yellow. I was just thinking, is there a reason they make it that color? Is there some scientific theory that says yellow helps you come up with things, green helps you concentrate, red helps you... ect? If this is true, what colors do what?

Brief rundown: I am 28, B/f is 29 and we've been together for a bit over 2 years & now have a 3month old daughter.
A few weeks ago we had an argument over the baby. I think he does not want her around, or only when it is convenient or she is happy. He is wishy-washy and I told him he needed to start helping more with her. (She is collicky, mind you) At one point during our argument he said, "If you don't like it there's the door." So, I called his bluff, packed a few things for myself and my child and went to my sister's. Once he realized I wasn't kidding, he begged me to stay. I had to leave to make a point that I would not put up with his disrespect.
Now...a couple of days ago, he left his email open...so...I peaked a little:) and found an email he sent to some chic on a porno personals website. The subject line was "True Love". He said he was looking for true love and someone to spend good times with. Now he is talking about buying me an engagement ring. What do I do?

this is going to be the first and only time i'm going to spill out my mind to anyone, and i think i need a lil help. on the outside of me, ppl see a very quiet guy, he keeps to himself all the time, he's barley active and hardley likes talking to ppl. prefers to be alone and watch others live their life. my inside thoughts: i keep to myself because i like to think about a lot of stuff. i my own little world in my head and i can't stop living in there and get out of it and be more active. i'm one of those ppl who "have their head up their a'ss". i don't really care about anything cause i have my own little adventures, my own little life, whatever fairytale in my head and i never pay much attention what's around me. i lost my virginity to some girl when i was 6 (simple explanaition, i was exposed to porn too early) i got caught and was punished for it. ever since then, i never had a GF. something in my mind can't seem to actually accept a relationship with someone else. any comments? =(

Okay so i went to bed a 11 and woke up at 3 for alittle bit. fell back asleep and then had a crazy dream.......

I was dreaming what i just did (woke up at 3am ) but in my dream i had a gun beside me under my pillow. i grabed the gun and thought to myself i was depressed and had to kill myself (also in my dream i was thinking oh i have done this before its okay i wont die) so i shot myself on the side of my head (the left side). then i started freaking out that i was going to die so i got up and ran to my roommates room woke her up and told her. then my other roommate and her boyfriend woke up and were freaking out. the boyfriend said don't worry if you shot yourself on the left side of your head you wont die. so went back to bed and that was it.

I have no idea what this means im such a happy person. but i have been having problems with my roommate who has depression problems. so maybe it has something to do with that????

(As with questions concerning "some feminists", please note that "some" is different from "all" or "most" or "many".)

Some masculists defend a view of masculinity as the "strong, silent type", as primal, even primitive, uncomplicated, simple, not "over-analyzing", not "thinking too much", and even suggest that when men discuss feelings, they're being "feminized".

While they are entitled to their views on masculinity, I then have to wonder when they also make a show of celebrating how many men have been great philosophers, poets, and other thinkers

Did these men not analyze things? Did they not think things through over and over from many angles? Did they not express emotions? Were they the "strong, silent type"?

Does it make sense for masculists to celebrate the achievements of men who, on their own terms, aren't really much "men" at all?
